Interview With The 2021 New York Photography Awards Winner \u2013 Marcin Majkowski<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Can you introduce yourself and talk about how you got into photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

46-year-old guy, who can possibly handle the camera in his hands, and use it from time to time. I did start it in 2002 with analog cameras, and threw it away for some reason, and restarted it again in 2009 when digital ones conquered the world already. I found it a bit easier and really interesting for me to express myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. Where did you study photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not have any professional background as I am really an amateur photographer, maybe a bit more advanced than the others, and photography is my hobby, and not what I do for a living. I simply love it. Some kind of therapy I would say looking at daily life. By all these years I developed my skills to the level I am now through learning by doing, reading everything that’s possible, and observing others as much as possible, having my own ideas of what and how I want to do, and still developing myself and my photography with every taken photo, looking to take the best one, the one which will satisfy me 100%. Everything is in front of me yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Do you remember your first shot? What was it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well strange to say, but actually yes. With the analog one that was in Japan. I was there for some reason, spending almost 7 months, and bought my first analog camera, the Pentax MZ-30. The first photo was taken in Yokohama Aquarium, and believe me it should not be shown to anybody. For digital cameras, I used a NIKON D90 + SIGMA 17-70, and the first photo I took was one of the famous pedestrians and bicycle bridge father Bernatka in Cracow in Poland while walking with my family. My wife was really upset as I was doing it for the very first time if you know what I mean. The rest is history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What equipment do you use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, starting with analog as mentioned above, Pentax MZ-30, through the more advanced kit NIKON D90 + SIGMA 17-70, and ending for the moment with NIKON D810 + SIGMA 24-70 Art kit. It\u2019s not a much-advanced kit, because it\u2019s limited to one lens, but still durable to take the shots in the way I see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. What do you hope to achieve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always looking for the best shot, either people and\/or places, trying as hard as possible, not only visually, but maybe the most, the most interesting and unique. Playing with the composition a lot, and finding the least popular and the most local places as possible to be shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photos were taken at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt am Main \/ Germany in 2019. At that time, all models\u2026 (read more at New York Photography Awards<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
